Two names are missing under this Lancet letter, while one would expect them, Marion Koopmans and Ron Fouchier...

11. Why did Koopmans not sign the Lancet Letter?

On Feb 7, 2020, Daszak sent an email to Colwell with a list of people they want to approach to sign the statement, including Osterhaus, Koopmans and Haagmans. Haagmans signed it. Koopmans will not.

The question remains; why not?

20/07/2021 by @Hommel_be

"Koopmans liked it all. Whether it was China’s repeated delay of the mission, the lack of raw data, China’s veto over the composition of the team Marion Koopmans did not speak a single word of criticism"

12. Gain of Function

"I strongly suspect that this successful Gain-of-function investigation by Ron Fouchier is the reason why Marion Koopmans and he did not sign the letter to The Lancet"
13. Funding
" For Koopmans and Fouchier too, if it were proven that the SARS-CoV-2 virus had escaped from the WIV, it would have disastrous consequences getting funds for Gain-of-function experiments with influenza viruses, just as it would have for Ralph Baric"

If you see a snake today..🐍

1. Based on the Parsi calendar conversion and the text of the Persian Mar-Nāmeh (THE BOOK FOR TAKING OMENS FROM SNAKES), seeing a snake today means you should not look at it, otherwise you will soon have a cause to be sorry.
2. Rule 7 cruelly says:

"If you see a snake on the day of Merdad (Amerdid) do not look at it, (or otherwise) you will soon have a cause to be sorry"

According to the Parsees, today is Roj Amardad (also spelled Merdad or Amerdāt).
3. If you see it, how can you not look at it?

The Book for Taking Omens from Snakes (30 Nov 1892)

By President-Surgeon-Major G. Waters.

"The custom of taking omens from snakes seems to be
very ancient. The people of antiquity associated with the snake various peculiar ideas"

1. The morning breaks on human backs

Across the centuries & the tracks,
Where bone & muscle give their all,
To answer to the master's call.
And in the pocket, pouch, or hand,
A secret comfort rules the land.
A cheap escape from sweat & pain,
To dull the mind or spike the brain.
2. In London’s fog, the engine roars

And laborers crowd through palace doors,
To drown the shift in burning gin.
While in the slums, for just a penny,
The laudanum drops are shared by many,
To soothe the cough, the cramp, the tear,
And quiet the children crying there.
3. Across the sea, the jungle steams

Where coolies chased their broken dreams.
The shovel bites, the fever burns,
Until the evening sun returns.
Then in the bunkhouse, dark & small,
Sweet smoke rises on the wall;
The opium pipe is lit & blessed,
A pain-free haze, a perfect rest!

1. Ball, Hung, Drawn and Quartered for Truth

Did ye sing, John Ball,
as they pulled you apart?
A poet speaking for us all
from England’s tattered heart.
What a price, John Ball,
for singing to us all.
When hope came as a crime
in simple rhythm and rhyme.
2. He who sings a blackbird’s song
to a starved & battered throng
with a message to stand strong
would never last long.
So we’ll sing to John Ball
for the helpless & hopeless,
the voiceless, forgotten,
buried beneath the mansions
of Lords; misbegotten
mortar, stones & chandeliers
3. the scarlet grave goods
of England’s preening peers.
We’ll sing in simple rhymes
and hope for better times,
when those barons’ grandchildren,
so viscous, reptilian,
are thrown from their seat
in ignominious defeat.

🧵Explanation Thread

Here is my attempt at a simple summary of what @JasperFarlake & @dr_louwen claim (July 2026)

1. In early 2020, Chinese scientists published the first big paper on the COVID virus using fluid samples taken from patients’ lungs in Wuhan in December 2019.
2. They uploaded the raw sequencing data to public databases so others could check their work, which is great.



@JasperFarlake & @dr_louwen went back & carefully re-examined that raw data

They say they found several strange things that don’t look right.zenodo.org/records/213119…
@JasperFarlake @dr_louwen 3. You can see their findings in the readme.md text which you can see if you download their zip file and extract it.

or here directly on their @github repository
